Preparing Solar Energy Systems for Autumn Weather

-
As summer transitions into autumn, leaves start to fall, rain is more frequent, and chillier temperatures spread across the Northwest. This sweet period between the brutal heat of summer and the bitter chill of winter is a great time to prepare your home or small business for the change of seasons. While the solar industry focuses on the importance of transitioning your solar panels between summer and winter, there are some things you can do to maximize your solar energy capture during autumn. Here are a few tips for efficient Idaho solar power during fall months:

Fall Cleaning

If your PV solar panels are covered by leaves or debris, that can affect your system’s ability to charge throughout the day efficiently. Clearing PV solar panels of seasonal outdoor debris is a good way to ensure your panels are able to receive enough sunlight to convert the energy you need. Professionals often suggest waiting until mid-autumn to clear panels.

However, if you see that your panels are dusty, they don’t necessarily need a power wash. Even the dustiest solar panels only lose about 7% of their efficiency. So it could be worth waiting until spring to clean them, especially since hiring a professional can be a hassle. When you install solar panels on your building, ask the solar Idaho company the type of maintenance they provide.

 Adjust Tilt

 The angle of sunlight that you receive changes depending on the season. The difference between summer and winter can be a 30-degree difference, depending on your location. For areas like southern Idaho that fall between 42 and 45 degrees latitude, 37 degrees is the optimal angle for the best energy efficiency. In summer, 12.5 degrees is best while 59.6 is preferred for winter months.

That 37-degree sweet spot can totally increase your PV solar panels' ability to charge what you need. Taking advantage of solar Idaho efficiency can positively affect your transition from summer to autumn and autumn to winter.

 Power Systems

The outdoor temperatures during autumn influence how people often use heat or air conditioning. Unlike summer, which relies on air conditioning, or winter, which requires heat, autumn is more neutral temperature-wise. Be conscious of how you’re using your power during this transitional time. Using your air conditioning less can be a benefit to your energy usage and power bill. Try to wait as long as possible before turning on your furnace.

 Lighting

As the days get shorter, the longer you’ll be using electric lights indoors. Switch out your traditional bulbs for energy efficient LED lights. Shorter days also means that your panels have less time to receive sunlight, but conserving your power usage around the house makes this transition easier.

Asking a solar representative what your solar energy solutions require during this seasonal transition is the best way to know what your specific needs may be. EvenGreen Technology provides consumer education about energy efficiency with reliable sources and industry experience.

Why Solar Energy Is the Perfect Solution for Rural Areas

-
Image
When solar power was first gaining traction as a home power solution here in Idaho, it was often thought of as a rural solution rather than a means to a more solar Meridian or Boise. At the time, that was a matter of necessity. Solar power systems were considerably more expensive to buy and install, and less efficient than they are today. For rural residents, it was still the option that made the most sense. Today, solar power is far less expensive and far more efficient. It is being increasingly adopted by suburban and urban residents to decrease their power bill and do their part for the environment. Those changes also mean that solar power is much more accessible for the people who can benefit the most from it: rural Idahoans, or residents of any rural region. Benefits of Rural Solar One of the chief benefits of a solar power system in rural areas is space. Rural areas simply have more of it. Unlike in the cities or even suburbs, rural homeowners are rarely hemmed in by nei

Three Facts About Idaho Solar Energy You Should Know

The benefits of solar power are becoming more well known. With the cost of fossil fuel-based energy increasing, and a better understanding of the consequences of pollution, the world is increasingly turning to renewable energy sources like solar. Many Idahoans, however, remain unaware of many of the benefits of solar power. Additionally, some Gem Stater residents may not even realize that Idaho solar power is a viable option. If you’re unfamiliar with how well Idaho and solar power work together, read on. Idaho Is Perfect for Solar Power One of the most common misconceptions about solar power in Idaho, and places like it, is that we’re not well-suited for solar. There’s a tendency to associate effective solar energy exclusively with sun-drenched parts of the country further south. It’s an unfortunate misconception since Idaho’s climate is actually ideal for solar. Solar cell panels certainly require the sun to work, but they don’t require additional heat. In fact,

The Benefits of an Idaho Solar Power System—Besides Saving You Money

The economic benefits of Idaho solar power pretty much speak for themselves. With the available tax incentives, rebates, and credits, and more efficient production methods, solar energy is more affordable than ever. Installing solar means savings month after month on your power bill. However, a more solar Boise , a more solar Idaho, and a more solar world, comes with a set of benefits beyond the financial for us both individually and collectively. More Energy Independence At first, when solar was less efficient and affordable than it is now, one of the chief benefits it offered was electricity to those off the power grid. That meant virtually exclusively homeowners in very rural areas. Since then, increasing fossil fuel prices, and a better understanding of the consequences of their use, have been changing the urban and suburban energy dynamic. People recognize the benefits of solar as an alternative or supplementary power source. A power source to save money on ri
